A-Levels from Scarborough (otherwise Michael Chapman's "Postcards of Scarborough") from around 1971 when Prince Charles joined the Navy
If you're fourteen to twenty-and-a-half then the Navy is for you When you go down to Dartmouth all your dreams will come true So different from when you're home in Hartlepool And if you've got two A-levels then an officer you'll be You can sit down in your uniform and get waited on at tea So different from when you're home in Hartlepool
I got two A-levels from Scarborough at the Technical College Distinction in Woodwork and scraped Religious Knowledge So different from the thickoes in the audience And guess who sleeps in the next room and after lights are out He comes into my room and he lets it all hang out Charles the future king of England
But me dad was so tastless, his breath was so stale I've left him in the gutter with his accent and his ale
After twelve months at Dartmouth they will put you on a boat And for one whole year they will teach you how to float It's a nice boat, not like those boats at South Shields Those horrible common mucky boats at South Shields
The lords and ladies came to watch me shake the Admiral's hand Even Charlies's mum was there, so regal and so grand Prince Philip so immaculately tasteful [belch !]
But me dad was so tastless, his breath was so stale The bugger only got there cos they let him out of jail So different from the parents of my room-mate Charles the future king of England
